Every April, the @luzernecountycac plants pinwheels to mark #childabusepreventionmonth

At the Luzerne County Courthouse, 391 pinwheels were planted by county leaders, representing the number of children CAC helped last year. Pinwheels were also planted at the Dallas Rotary Club Triangle.

The Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce invited local legislators to participate in a breakfast panel with area employers. We discussed many of the key issues confronting northeastern Pennsylvania, including access to health care in rural communities, rising energy costs, the impact of regulatory complexity and permitting delays, and how we can better align our education system with the real-time workforce needs of our region.

I appreciated the opportunity to participate in this event. Hearing about the challenges our employers are facing is valuable as we continue our deliberations on the 2026-27 state budget.

We had a great time visiting local schools during #readacrossamericaweek 📚

This year’s theme, “Championing Kindness,” highlights the importance of compassion while encouraging students to explore diverse stories. It was a joy to read with students and see their enthusiasm firsthand.

Supporting literacy at an early age helps build a strong foundation for lifelong learning, and I am grateful to our teachers and staff who inspire that love of reading every day.

The annual Wayne County Ag Day recognizes the farmers, students and agricultural leaders who are vital to our region’s economy and heritage.

Agriculture plays a critical role in sustaining our communities and preserving our rural character. I remain committed to supporting policies and programs that strengthen our farming families and ensure Pennsylvania’s top industry continues to thrive for generations to come.

The American presidency was a unique creation that has served our country well.

#presidentsday began as a celebration of the February birthdays of George Washington and then Abraham Lincoln. While they still rank as our greatest presidents, the day is now devoted to recognizing all the chief executives who’ve led the greatest nation on earth.

I recently visited fourth graders at Lake-Noxen Elementary and fifth graders at Dallas Intermediate to share one of my favorite programs with students. We explored what they have in common with a state Senator.

Assigned seats, daily roll call, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance are just a few similarities. Being an effective legislator also requires many skills learned at an early age, from math for budgets, reading for bills, and teamwork to get things done!

Students at both schools researched legislation and presented oral arguments in support of the class cookie and voted on their favorite. This exercise is a fun way for kids to learn how government works and hopefully inspires some future leaders.
